Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight and am joined down here by many of my colleagues as freshman Members of the U.S. House of Representatives to have an open and honest conversation with you, Mr. Speaker, and with all of America to talk about an issue that I believe is timely, with the court case that is now pending in the United States Supreme Court dealing with the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ``ObamaCare,'' otherwise known as many other items, but tonight we'll be referring to it as ObamaCare or the Affordable Care Act. To me, Mr. Speaker, it is clear that ObamaCare is a legislative act that overpromises, overspends, and underperforms, all at the expense of hardworking taxpayers. The law does little to get to the root cause of the problem in health care, and that is escalating cost increases across America. To me, the law is more focused on health insurance reform and does not do much in regards to curving the increasing health care costs in America down. Now, in the House of Representatives, we have voted repeatedly to repeal this atrocious law. I believe that is the best course of action for many reasons, and I'm sure we're going to get into those reasons tonight. But tonight we are joined by many freshman colleagues. What I'd like to do at this point in time is yield to my good friend from Georgia (Mr. Scott), a great Member of the freshman class and president of the freshman class, to offer some comments in regards to the same.”
